Time, The Breeder’s Ally
As children, we start learning about time in kindergarten. An hour consists of 60 minutes, a day of 24 hours and a year has 365 days. We pretty much have the telling of time mastered sometime during the second-grade year and we begin to follow time with clocks and measure it with calendars.
Top Of Their Game
The Rhodesian Ridgeback Standard uses words like, “strong, muscular, active, balanced, handsome, upstanding and athletic” to describe the breed. These are often the reasons many are drawn to them. However, once owned by a Ridgeback, one learns quickly just what those words really mean.

In it for the Long Haul
Before the era of motor vehicles, if you were a farmer who had no larger draft animals, you used big farm dogs to haul tools across the farm and goods to and from market. In Europe, breeds such as Bernese Mountain Dogs and Rottweilers specialized in draft work while also serving other functions, while Canadians used their mighty Newfoundlands. In the Old Times, the tribes of the American Great Plains often used dogs to haul their goods in travois.

Breed Priorities – Black and Tan coonhound
The Black and Tan Coonhound was the first coonhound breed recognized by AKC in 1945; it had been recognized by the United Kennel Club earlier. The Black and Tan Coonhound, like the other coonhound breeds recognized by AKC, was developed in the United States from foxhounds and other European hounds, including the Bloodhound and Talbot Hound assumed to be in the Black and Tan’s history. Four of the other coonhounds – the Bluetick, the Redbone, the American English, and the Treeing Walker – were developed using primarily colonial foxhounds. The Plott evolved from the German Hanover hounds brought here by the Plott family who used them with other local breeds to produce their breed.
IMHO – How is Judging at Westminster KC Different?
It looks like a simple question this month. Read and see if you agree. The responses it evokes are powerful, heartfelt, personal, and very telling. For judges, an assignment at Westminster comes with the respect we all have for the second most continuous sporting event in the United States. The words of this month’s contributors speak to the seriousness and joy of adjudication at Westminster, a show like no other.
